Thank you XDiVolatilX. The Z790 Aorus Master is too pricey and beyond my budget. I just need help in 2 areas. Please advice. Motherboard : Asus Prime Z790-P Wifi-Csm Lga1700 Atx Motherboard (PRIME-Z790-P-WIFI-CSM) OR Gigabyte Z790 Ud Ac (wi-fi) Lga1700 Atx Motherboard (Z790 UD AC) Monitor...

Thank you LikeTbk. Even though I am a bit confused after reading your post. My time is spend on other things also and not just Visual Studio. Moreover when I searched the web I read that 32" 4K is a much bigger upgrade as text and graphics is crisp. But 27" 2K is not that much and for people...

Do you imply that a 27" monitor is worth the upgrade from current 24" 1080p. I just don't want to strain my eyes as I think text etc. will become smaller right. And if I increase text size to 125% in Windows then available area will reduce. Even if I leave VS apart as currently I am okay with my...

I am happy with 24" monitor (1080p) as the text are good size and for my software development its fine (for me). If I upgrade to 2K (27") then I will have to increase text size from 100% to 125% in Windows. Won't that reduce real estate space in desktop?

1) I have decided to go for Z series motherboard for e.g. Gigabyte Z790 Ud Ac (wi-fi) Lga1700 Atx .... I hope that works/can handle with i7-14700K. Please let me know. 2) I will be going for a Noctua cooler and they do mention models suitable for i7 and show NSPR rating. So I can choose one that...

Thank you for your feedback. However I have some questions: 1) I am looking for a AIR cooler and not liquid one 2) The motherboard you mentioned starts at $400 here and that also STRIX Z790-E/F/H models. The one you mentioned costs over $600. My budget for MB is $190 or lower. 3) RAM : GSkill...

Hello Everyone, I have a Windows 10 PC and I use VirtualBox to host MacOS. This is done to learn the OS and to test a program. I had MAC OS Mojave virtual machine and it worked okay. However I wanted to upgrade to MAC OS BIG SUR but upgrade failed as file system was not APFS. So I created a...

Thank you everyone for your help.

I need a VDI as my products that needs to be run require Windows. What I have been asking is I want to go for server in Microsoft Azure as getting a windows server there is cheaper than in AWS. However should I go for 6 VMS or 1 server with 6 user accounts and each user getting access to 1 account.

Linux is not possible for me as my staff use in-house programs that work in Windows only. Microsoft came up with Windows Virtual Desktop. It could be something that can be looked into. Never heard of bare metal hyperviser. So what should I do? 6 small servers for each or one server and...

Won't that slow things down. A server is like a VM and in that we created more VMs.

I only need 220 hours per month. I am able to get Windows basic desktops from Azure and it will cost me at around $80 per month (for 6). But I wanted to know that should I take 6 servers or 1 big server and create 6 user accounts in it.

Hello Everyone, I run a very small company. I have six employees who connect to my computer (running Windows 10) using a remote software like AnyDesk/TeamViewer. I have created 6 virtual PCs using VirtualBox. I turn them on and they connect to each. Then they use inbuilt programs for work...

Thank you guys for your help. I have purchased Corsair TX650M PSU. I also got Cooler Master MB511 RGB case/pc cabinet. When installing PSU will fan face down or up. I think it should be down because if I make it face up then there is the plate/long thing which may cause obstruction. Let me know...

I did some searching but got confused. Request you to please suggest 2 or 3 models for Corsair or Cooler Master which you think is worth going for. Thank you

Who is Antec ?

Reviews for Cooler Master Masterwatt 550W are okay and its within budget as well. Is it worth going for? Otherwise will look into Corsair models as discussed in post.

You are right Ryan. I should invest more in a PSU. You are saying Corsair TX550M or CX550 or TX650M or CX650. Anyway more suggestions. B.T.W: I live in India.

It is not available here. Please recommend in either corsair or cooler master.

I decided to go for Geforce GTX 1660 TI. Do you think that my build or GPU is not up to the mark for a gaming pc? If so please advice.

Great !!! So the build I mentioned is fine and I am going to stick with my current SSD. Just thinking if I should go for RTX GPU or not. Now the only component which I need to finalize is GPU. GTX 1660 costs $219, GTX 1660 Ti Costs $280 and RTX 2060 costs $350. I think if I wish to save money...

Thank you very much. My friend lives in Austin so I don't know if he will be near a microcenter. But I will try newegg or amazon.com. I think I would spend a little more as its a build which should run for at least next 3 years. Plus I am not an AMD fan so I will stick to Intel. 1) Intel...

Phew, everything is sorted out now. The speed I am getting is 280 Mbps. I replaced the older wire with a new CAT 6 cable. Cheers and thank you guys for your help. :)

The ISP checked that the cable coming from the main router to my secondary router/access point is CAT 5 which only supports speeds up to 100 MBPS. I will now buy a CAT 6 cable so that the final bottle neck is plugged. My primary address is 192.168.0.1 (main router). I have set the lan ip as...

I have bought the router and configured it as an access point. It is working fine now. In network properties now I see 1 GBPS/Full Duplex. However there are 2 problems : 1) In speed test I only see speeds up to 95 Mbps (like before) and not 250 Mbps as I thought it should show as I updated my...

Thank you very much people. I will purchase a router and set the device in Access Point mode. I think this will help.
